IRIS SPURIA IN LINCOLNSHIRE 101 
L. uliginosa Newman. This grew with the preceding species, 
and seemed to prefer the bushy hillocks that rise here and there 
above the level of the marsh, its roots probably in the water 
(certainly so in the winter), but still not in such wet places as 
cristata. It was associated with L. spinulosa. A much disputed 
plant, on which many and diverse opinions were published in the 
old series of the Phytologist.

Tolypella prolifera Leonh. Dyke near Martham Staithe. Mr. 
G. R. Bullock- Webster thinks that this plant has not been found 
before in the Broads. Its only East Norfolk record is from the 
Gillingham Marshes, on the extreme south-east border of the vice-
